Who Is Harry Kellerman and Why Is He Saying Those Terrible Things About Me? is a movie released in 1971 starring Dustin Hoffman. It portrays a single day in life of Georgie Soloway, played by Hoffman. The film features unusual cinematography and proceeds at a snail's pace: the entire movie is about events that take place in a single day. The best known quote from this movie is by Soloway's dying father: "Life is like an appetizer: it's here, it's gone."

"A Boy Named Sue" by Johnny Cash was featured on the soundtrack to this movie. The film's music was written by Shel Silverstein.

Georgie Soloway is a rock music composer who experiences personal conflicts when trying to track down a man named Harry Kellerman, who had been spreading outrageous lies about him. Soloway is the man who has everything. He is on top of the world. One night, struggling with insomnia, he begins to examine his life more closely. A love song writer, it dawns on him that the relationships of his own life are loveless and drain his levels of creativity.

Enter Harry Kellerman. The mysterious man is spreading rumors about Soloway. Soloway begins to obsess over finding Harry Kellerman and soon forgets about his own life's misery.

This movie is a bizarre stream of consciousness filled with both comedy and human drama. Seen as pretentious by many when it was released, it is still not widely appreciated in the current day. However, many critics singled out Barbara Harris (actress) for praise; she received an Academy Award Nomination for Best Supporting Actress. In fact, the film still holds the current (as of 2007) record in Academy Awards history as having the longest title of any Oscar-nominated film.

Filming of the movie was done on location in New York City in 1970. Some of the locations include the Lunt Fontanne Theatre, the General Motors Building, and Fillmore East. At the Fillmore East, Soloway performs onstage with Shel Silverstein and Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show. This scene was filmed on September 18, 1970 prior to an actual Grateful Dead concert. The actual concert attendees were used as extras for the scene. The film was rated R for language and nudity.
